## Other investigations on N6129V (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB ERA22FA137](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA22FA137), Feb 24, 2022: Beech 35 (N6129V), Hilltown Township, PA, destroyed, 2 fatal. Probable cause: The pilots’ exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack while practicing maneuvers during an instructional flight, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and and a loss of airplane control.
